We finally have stage maps! Now you've got 3 days to write up a stage by stage analysis 😉.

Ok, I was 12, but yes it's mad how that was 15 years ago.

For me the Giro, I remember watching the 2010 Giro as a kid and falling in love the race. In particular the Giro's of 2015, 16, 17 and 18 I look fondly on as at that time Team Sky were boring the life out of the TDF, and each year the Giro would provide us with unpredictable racing. I also...

100% still a legend, one of the riders who made me fall in love with cycling. IMO there were only two years where he was at his full potential, 1997 and 2006...

For me, Jan Ullrich is one of the most talented riders of all time. He absolutely destroyed everyone in the 1997 TDF and he was only 23, after Arcalis people were genuinely saying he was the next Merckx. Unfortunately he wasn't discipline enough and we never got to see how good he'd have been in...

Yes very true.

Tbf having the Finestre at the start of the stage would be pretty pointless. But it's an absolutely tragic stage profile regardless.

Agree with the top 3, but no way Pidcock us getting tip 10. The guy couldn't even get top 15 in the Giro this year which IMO had a lower quality field.

However, if there hadn't of been World War 2, I believe Fausto Coppi would be held in the same regard as Merckx.

Just for the record, I think Pogacar will 100% overtake Merckx in the next 5/10 years. Clinical reasons aside, he's they greatest cyclist/ genetic freak I've seen in 27 years of watching cycling. However, there's one flex Eddy will have on Pogacar, Milan San Remo, I don't think Pogacar will get...

Yes I meant that 🤝

I said he needs that to be compared to Merckx, that's what I believe, look how many many races Merckx won. Like I said, I think Pogacar will overtake Merckx in 10 years time, but not now. Mate people on this forum have different opinions to you, that's the beauty of posting on here. You need to...

To win all 3 GT's plus all 5 monuments.

Better than Pogacar's. PCS have him at number 8, so I think what I said is true. People just listen to all the media glazing him 24/7 and have huge recency bias. Like I said, 10 years time, he'll be number 1, but nit currently.

A week before the race and there still aren't any maps/ details, pretty ameture. It's almost like they don't want anyone to see where they are going or watch on the road side.
